one of the great things about this new CBA is that we no longer have to worry about dealing with rookie deals as training camp approaches; it's all slotted, no headaches, and everyone gets in camp on time.

I saw a pic yesterday of Mike Mcarthy,Rodgers,Matthews,Rob Davis, Edger Bennett with DD at the danceing with the stars. Good to see them all soporting DD. But the this morning i read a article saying that DD prob wont be on the team next season due to his poor production last year. I know Jennings Jordy Cobb Jones r all better tahn him at this point in his carear, but hes still a very good back up n is a mentor for all the younger guys. I know hes taking less money to stay in GB. Do u guys think will will actually let him go?

Donald may not have been productive as in prior years but the number of snaps he took were down and when he was in the games he was a reliable target for Rodgers to go to; was actually our best option in the playoff loss to the Giants...I think it'd be a mistake to let him go

I totally agree i think hes a solid 5th wr. plus Finly will get alot of balls at WR so Drivers really like our 6th WR

It all comes down to whether they believe Gurley and/or Borel to be the real deal. If they do, as much as I like Driver, it makes no sense to keep a 37 year old WR, pay him $5 mil, and let a promising young player walk.

McCarthy says it is a young man's game. You need vets but you can't hang on to them in the twilight of their career at the expense of replenishing your roster with young talent. QBs might be the lone exception to that philosophy.

If we really had nobody behind Driver then yes obviously cut his pay and keep him. Everyone knew this time would come and while its extremely hard we just can't keep him around. It makes us all extremely sad to have to do this to a guy like DD.... but we currently have to many young guys who have shown to much. We can't risk losing them and possibly there 8+ years of prime production for a guy who is on the decline with about 2-3 years. He sad he wants to play till 40.

That's just his base salary. He also has $0.2 million in workout bonuses, and a $1.5 million in roster bonus due July 25th. So you'll know by then if he's on the team or not. I think some of his signing bonus would also count against the cap this year bringing it over $5 million. At the least, he's set to make $4.3 million this year under his current contract.

I agree. He obviously need to take a pay cut along with a reduced role but his veteran leadership is invaluable to the younger guys.

Borel and Gurley aren't the next Victor Cruz. They're nice Ruvell Martin type guys but thats all. We already have Jennings, Nelson, Jones, Cobb, and Finley are the primary targets this season and D.J. Williams will hopefully provide something as well. Keeping Driver rounds out our targets and gives us a veteran insurance policy if we lose one of our top 4 WRs.
